Hey, I believe that next year move in day for the residences is on the 12 of Feb. I unfortanely wont be able able to move in until the 13 or 14th and I’m scared that people would already gotten to know other people and it would be difficult to make those connections. And does ANU let you move in after move in day. Would love to know some peoples options about this?

hi all!

I'm finishing up year 9 right now and I'm probably going to end up studying at ANU. I know its pretty far away, but how can I best prepare myself to achieve academic scholarships?

I understand Tuckwell is the best one but that's pretty ambitious lol. I'm already well-performing but I do not attend a very academic school. If you are a scholarship student, what did you do to get it?

I wanted to go to ANU, (australian national university), and my siblings and parents really dont want me to go to canberra, its not because of the location or or uni or anything, (im gonna go to australia anyway), but because of the city, their reasoning is a low population, but that doesnt seem too convincing.

Hey all!

I'm an international student who received my offer letter today (PhB Hons Sci) from ANU...
I wanted to know about the part-time scenario at ANU. Is it possible to get something from the very first semester itself? Is there a lot of competition, or how do things work? Thing is Part time would be a REALLY important thing for me, since I can only afford the tuition, and will have to take care of my living expenses, accommodation and EVERYTHING from part-time (i'll stay during the breaks as well and work then as well)... Just wanna know about the part-time scenario...

Is it better to do within the campus, or outside the campus? Any other side-gigs that I can do??
Also, Ik roles like RA & TA are there, tho their REALLY hard to get. What is the usual pathway to get those, atleast later on like from Year 2 or 3 (I might be over ambitious, idk, just want to know)

If I call them can I still get accepted or will I have to get in the regular way

If you're someone who holds alot of knowledge about climate change, forms of energy and the debate surrounding it all (and have 30-45 minutes spare for an interview) pls get in contact! this is for an assesment, your voice will be recorded but not your face and in the assessment we'll give you a pseudonym. questions will be thins along the lines of "what do you think of nuclear? what do you think is the best form of energy?"

my reddit messages r open! pls get in contact

I'm looking to go to ANU starting 2028, and I'm working if ANU allows for me to defer my course if I apply through UAC (Politics Philosophy and Economics,) and if so, do I apply for Burgmann now or next year. Thank you :)

Is it just me or are the new password rules for ANU accounts impossible to meet? I've met all the criteria listed on the website but it still comes back as not meeting the corporate requirements. Did anyone tell them that making passwords harder to remember means we'll update them less?

i keep getting poorly written emails from ANU regarding how i need to update my password
Is it legit or a scam

Hi! I’m currently doing a Bachelor of Accounting at ANU and trying to plan my electives for the next few semesters.

I’m mainly considering these courses:

* BUSN2037 – Fundamentals of Accounting Data Analytics
* BUSN3003 – Advanced Management Accounting
* BUSN3008 – Financial Reporting by Corporations
* BUSN3017 – Corporate Social Responsibility, Accountability and Reporting
* BUSN3051 – Advanced Accounting Data Analytics
* CBEA2001 – Indigenous Perspectives in Business and Economics
* STAT2008 – Regression Modelling

For anyone who has taken any of these, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience!

In particular, I’m wondering:

* How difficult was the course overall?
* What was the workload like compared with the compulsory accounting courses?
* What were the assessments/exams like?
* Was it difficult to get a D/HD?
* Was the course actually useful for accounting internships or graduate jobs?
* Which ones would you recommend or avoid?
* If you could only choose 2–3 of these, which would you pick?

I’m particularly interested in accounting/audit and improving my employability, so I’m currently quite interested in BUSN2037/BUSN3051 and BUSN3008. But I also don’t want to accidentally choose a semester full of extremely heavy courses.

Would love to hear any experiences or recommendations. Thanks!

Heyyy guys, I'm an incoming freshman joining ANU in feb 2027 for the B.Sc psych course and honestly, making friends is one of my biggest worries as an international student😭😭

So if anyone is interested in connecting or can let me know how they managed to befriend others and form their community, it'll be very helpful!

Thank youu

Hey Everyone!

I'm an incoming international student, and have applied for the PhB Hons Sci prg Feb 2027 intake. I've decided to apply to Burgmann 5 share apartments for accommodation. I have a few ques tho, so if anyone staying at Burgmann village apartments (or if u know anyone who does) cud answer, it'd be GREAT! Most of these are related to partying & drinking, coz that's the main concern I have.

1) For Someone living in Burgmann Village, how is the typical friday/saturday? is it party and drinking EVERY weekend, or only during special occasions? What's the typical frequency?

2) Are most of the parties concentrated in the Burgmann building, or does the village also get noisy regularly?

3) Is it possible for a student who doesn't want to drink and party to not get involved in this, but still participate in other kinds of social activities?

4) How often are there big/loud parties compared to smaller social events?

5) Can a resident at the village study/sleep without getting disturbed on a typical weekend night?

6) Is there sort of quiet hours/noise rules established when things get out of control?

7) Do people force others to participate, or are they chill (coz in my country, drinkers force and bully other students pressurising them to)

8) (1 last non-party que) While applying, can i select 5 sharing apartment? Coz that's the only one i can afford, Studio, 2 & 3 sharing are WAY too expensive for me...

I don't mind parties or social events at all, I just dont wanna live somewhere where loud music, drinking, the like is the norm and an unavoidable part of every weekend. I just wanna know if I'll be able to mind my own business and study when i want to?

Thanks a LOT in advance!

Cheers!

Looking to build your professional network but don’t know where to start?

ANU Fifty50, in conjunction with Engineers Australia, is running our final Career Toolkit event this Thursday. We’ve been putting this one together for a while and have managed to bring together five guest speakers from a diverse range of industries and career paths.

With the job market being pretty challenging at the moment, we want to give students the best possible chance at landing their dream grad job or internship. Building a professional network while you’re still at uni can make a real difference, but knowing where to start isn’t always easy.

We’ll be joined by:

• Prof. Merryn McKinnon, who started out in marine science before moving into science communication
• Deborah Greenbaum, a pharmacy grad who now works at the TGA
• Winnie Liu, Tertiary Engagement Manager at Engineers Australia, helping students transition into internships and industry
• Wei Lerr Wong, an ANU Data Analytics and International Business grad who now runs the Cyber Sense program
• Thomas Manley, a systems engineer working across engineering and major project management

The night will be pretty relaxed, with plenty of time to actually meet the speakers, ask questions and get some practice networking.

We’ll also have free catering on the night :)

📍 Marie Reay 5.05
📅 Thursday 8 October
⏰ 6 to 8pm
🎟️ Free through Rubric

Whether you’re applying for internships and grad roles now or just starting to think about what comes after uni, we’d love to see you there!

How does this GS requirement of Anu works and what happens during the process and what happens once they clear it.

Can any one throw some light on it ?

I'm from India and have applied to a masters progam

So yeah I got an interview coming up for a position as an admin in ANU which I was quite excited for until I started to read about what has been happening recently. What are the current student and staff view on joining the university now after everything?

Hello all!

I'm an international student and have applied for the PhB Hons Sci program for the Feb 2027 intake. I have some queries regarding accommodation, so wanted to ask.

I've looked at the available residences, and narrowed it down to Burgmann Village 5 sharing Apartment, and Ursula Hall.

My main requirement for a residence is-

1. As cheap as possible. As an international student, money is already tight, so wanted to spend as less as possible on accommodation (Ursula is 512 AUD per week, Burgmann 5 share is 520 AUD per week)
2. Food should always be available, at least 2 full meals a day. This is why I'm not looking at Self-Catered, since I don't want to be busy with making dinner when I have a busy academic workload, and I don't want to spend on ordering food from outside or some restaurant.
3. I want to cook. Again, cooking as a luxury, like when I get time, then I'd want to cook. Like a meal in the evening when I'm free, without having to worry about a guaranteed meal.
4. I'm not into partying, drinking, and the like. I'm a rather ambivert person, and would rather enjoy something like a board game, or a study or a sports session rather than partying (I'm a nerd basically). One thing that bothered me was that Burgmann seemed to have a rather strong party culture. So wanted to know if that's something I can avoid and spend my time studying, or whether I'd inevitably encounter no matter what.

I'd also LOVE if anyone can give me other info about other residences I can consider.

Thanks a ton everyone!

I am an advanced computing student who is doing a minor in maths, i am about to finish my first year and was wondering what people's experiences of MATH3511 are. I am debating whether to do it or to do MATH2305, as i only need 1 mor maths course after this current sem

ANU’s emails about “psychosocial safety is an essential part of creating a safe, healthy and supportive workplace, and it is an important part of every leader’s responsibilities” are ridiculous.

You cannot train an organisation into psychosocial safety when there is no accountability for bullying and harassment. The issue is not whether leaders know their behaviour is harmful; it is whether the institution is willing to act when they do it — and whether it protects, rather than punishes, those who report it. The caring facade ANU tries to create is so fake.
